Are you a recent university graduate? Do you want to gain experience in the mental health sector in preparation of becoming a future child psychologist?

A fantastic SEMH school in Newbury are looking for a Psychology Graduate to work as a Psychology Teaching Assistant to help support their students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs. The children in the school have a range of mental health needs and therefore need someone who is caring, compassionate and up for a challenge! This is perfect experience if you are interested in a future as a Psychologist.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will be supporting children with anxiety, trauma, OCD, depression, anger issues and attachment difficulties, as well as other additional needs such as Autism and ADHD. There is likely to be challenging behaviour as well as a lot of well-being needs, so you need to be proactive and flexible to cater to the needs of each child.

This is a role where no two days are the same! However, your general duties will involve working with small groups of pupils in the classroom, supporting both their emotional needs and learning needs. You will help boost their self-esteem, increase their independence and help them understand their emotions.

As a Psychology Teaching Assistant, this will provide you with a fantastic opportunity to shadow the Educational Psychologist on-site, as well as the Speech & Language Therapist and SENCO. It will also grant you first-hand experience supporting and working with children with mental health needs. This will provide excellent work experience for any graduate looking to start a long-term career as an Educational or Clinical Psychologist, Criminologist, Therapist, Counsellor or even Criminal Justice Officer!
